"The Disturbed" Film Poster

The poster was created in Photoshop, along with the magazine and titles, and proved to be a struggle, but an adventurous struggle as I myself had never used Photoshop before and neither had any of the other members. We used the help of online tutorials and began the process of creating our film poster. We started with the background. For this we had to find the right background that offered the idea of a dark sinister film. Next was the titles. We researched how to separate the letters from each other to make it look more professional and then placed blood splatters behind the text to make it look like the victims blood.  We then moved onto the production credits which was simple as we just made some text larger than the others. The final part was the main image and proved to be the most difficult as we had to make sure it looked the best it could be. When it was finally finished we used some blending tools and altered the gradient to create the misty image. 

"The Disturbed" Film Magazine

This is our film magazine. It follows the typical features of a horror magazine and uses the typical format of a black background with red coloured text. The images each represent different films and features in the magazines-with two of the pictures being created by ourselves (the middle picture and the top right picture). The image in the middle was taken in the woods and then edited in Photoshop to create a more sinister look. The whole poster was edited in Photoshop with the help of tutorials and teamwork.

This image is the title of our film and the production credits. It is a screenshot from our trailer as it appears at the end. The credits shows the audience what each member of the group did-and shows that the work was shared between them. We are very proud of this as it shows that all of our teamwork and hard-work has all eventually paid off. The mise-en-scene of the sinister effect of blood on the main title lettering allows the audience to feel the real intent behind our film which is a horror.

our film "disturbed" creation aspects

Camera angles:
The main camera angles that we are using for our film are high, low angle and tracking shot. We are using high angle regularly on the victims as it shows that they are small and unable to control the situation they are in. The low angle shot will be used on the villain because it shows that they are dominant in what ever situation they are in and that they can control others. We use the tracking shot so that the trailer can run through at a fast pace so the audience don't become bored or find it uninteresting. Other angles that we will use are mid shot, two shot, birds eye shot and over the shoulder shot.
Sound:
The same type of sound will be used through out the trailer. When there is fast paced action then the sound will speed up and become louder so that it links in with the footage. If there are scenes where character are creeping around corners or around a building, then the sound will be slowed down to nearly silence.
Editing: in our film "psycho" we used a variety of very effective titles and editing processes; with the main one being our innovative production titles which are seen at the beginning of our film trailer. the audience will see the effective sinister fade in fade out effect which automatically tells the audience that they are watching a horror. we edited the main titles and trailer using adobe premiere elements 10 and its array of sinister effects and processes.
Mise en scene:
The villain will wear dark clothes, mainly black so that the audience don't have any idea who the villain is and what they look like. The other characters will wear there day to day clothes e,.g. casual as it is a normal day for them until the villain arrives.

Production Update

On Wednesday 7th January we travelled to Fetcham to continue the production of our film, "PSYCHO", and we used a variety of camera angles and locations to add a dynamic angle to our film. Each individual had a different role; Connor's role was to help film and also star in the film, Rachel was the main protagonist and also played a directing role in the film too by offering ideas, Ryan was the antagonist and I was also a Director.

On the day we filmed most of our trailer and included many aspects from the horror genre, including props, such as knives, suspense-packed scenes and the idea of a vulnerable woman home alone. We had very low lighting to give it that horror aspect. The mise-en-scene of the antagonist was a long black coat that covered the entire body of the murderer as if he was a shadow-we chose this colour as black is the typical colour of an antagonist but also because the colour black connotes evil and darkness. He then had a knife in his hand which was his murder weapon for the film but throughout the film other props/weapons would have been used.
